Groh spent two seasons at Alabama, serving as both the Crimson Tide's wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. After Alabama signed a 2013 class that was ranked No. 1 by multiple recruiting websites, Groh was named the Recruiter of the Year by 247Sports.com and Rivals.com.

Groh's only previous NFL experience came in 2000, when he was an offensive assistant/quality control coach for the New York Jets.
